A body-cooling suit

Medical Design Excellence Award winner of 2009, the ThermoSuit System (TSS) from Life Recovery Systems (LRS), is a rapid non-invasive patient cooling device.  The company’s founders Robert Freedman Jr and Dr Robert Schock developed the product after realising the existing treatment was inadequate and that rapid cooling could improve outcomes of critically ill patients.

The TSS is designed to be easily and quickly applied by nursing staff and can cool the core temperature to 32–34°C in 30 minutes or less.

Strong clinical results, presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions, demonstrated the positive impact that TSS could have on patients. “We are very happy to see such favourable clinical results in the centres using the ThermoSuit System so far,” says Dr Schock. “This is a fulfillment of the mission Dr Freedman and I have had since founding Life Recovery Systems.”
